Been very busy but still running! Have joined Parkrun and enjoy the vibe of running with about 500 people. The Delta run us very hilly but it has not put me of. Happy t to just plod on and enjoy being out and about.

Ran 5km neon night rin which was lots of fun.

Very slow but decided it's better than sitting on the couch...

Good on you. I've signed up for Parkrun myself but as yet, haven't taken the plunge. I intend giving it a go this Saturday.

Always! Park runs are good, aren't they? It's the community I have found at mine that has helped keep me going. I'm slow, too, but not starting to run until my mid 50s, I don't expect anything else!

Lovely photo of cheery folk.

I think whatever speed we go back is much better than sitting on the couch and it's always good to get out of our comfort zone - I've only done parkrun once (in March) and was pretty nervous about it but I really loved it. I am going back this coming Saturday with several other people from HU C25K which should be good fun. Our route is dead flat which I really appreciate being in the mid 50's bracket too :)

trevnfi98, give it a go, I think you'll like it!
